Wanted: a version of tn3270 to run on IBM PC's/clones. Needs to support 3com 501 and 503 cards, and must work with/in a PC-NFS environment. PD software preferable, but not necessary. Any comments/pointers/suggestions would be most appreciated. Jeffery Bacon Academic Computing Svcs, Michigan Technological Univ. bitnet: bacon@mtus5 uucp: <backbone>!rutgers!umix!anet!bacos

Our PC/TCP package includes a TN3270, and we support all the 3Com cards. We don't share a single network interface with Sun's PC/NFS, but we do have an add-on NFS client (called "Interdrive") which works with PC/TCP. IBM has a TN3270 in their DOS TCP/IP package, and it runs on 3C501s (I don't know about 3C503s), but it won't share with PC/NFS, and doesn't have an NFS of its own. Excelan has a TN3270 as an option to their DOS package, but it only runs on Excelan cards, and they don't (to my knowlege) have an NFS. If you want p-d software, your only choice is NCSA, which will run on the 3Com cards, but won't share with PC/NFS, and doesn't have an NFS of its own. Once upon a time, Greg Minshall had a version of the Unix tn3270 which ran on a U-B NIU's TCP/IP, but you couldn't build it without a 'curses' library which wasn't on the distribution, and the code hasn't been updated in the last couple of Berkeley tn3270 versions. These are all the DOS tn3270s I know of. James B. VanBokkelen 26 Princess St., Wakefield, MA 01880 FTP Software Inc. voice: (617) 246-0900 fax: (617) 246-0901

It runs over a bunch of different Ethernet and LocalTalk boards.
